Question

Inventory was taken on Day 1, Day 2, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7. Norris wants to know roughly what the inventory was on Day 3.

What should he do to estimate the inventory on Day 3?


He should use the value for Day 2 because it is closest in value to Day 3.


He should randomly pick a point near the fitted line where x=3.


He should evaluate the function f(x)=−1/3 x+4 for y=3.


He should evaluate the function f(x)=−1/3 x+4 for x=3.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

guessing

Answer 2

He should evaluate the function f(x)=−1/3 x+4 for x=3  , Option D is the correct answer.

What in Interpolation ?

Interpolation is when the line of best fit is used to determine the value of a point that is within the range of plotted points.

It is given to find the value at Day 3 which lies in the range of the points used for plotting

The line for best fit is

f(x) = (-1/3)x +4

At x = 3

f(3) = (-1/3) * 3 +4

f(3) = -1+4 = 3

Therefore He should evaluate the function f(x)=−1/3 x+4 for x=3

Option D is the correct answer.
